はじめまして。
あさがおです。
私は英語のレッスンをSkypeで受けているのですが、そこで学んだことをこちらのブログを通して紹介していきたいと思います。
結局何がいいたいんだ？とお感じになられるかもわかりませんが、、、
あくまでも学習ノートだと思って勘弁してやってください(｡-人-｡)
さて、今日のテーマは。。。
<an emergency>
早速、preventive measures は何かたてているか？だって最近地震が日本は起きるでしょう？と質問を受け、、、答えに困ってしましました。
emergency kitなるものを備蓄している人を心から尊敬します。
emergency は、unpredictable（＝we don't really when it will exactly happen） なんですよね。
ふむふむ、予測できないものです。

Have you ever been in an emergency? Were you ever in a risky situation? As society becomes more complex, danger seems to lurk around every corner.
Terrible car crushes are probably the most common sort of sudden, serious calamity, but the number of violent crimes, burglaries, fires, and so forth also seems to rise continuously.
And yet most people fail to take any steps to deal with any of these possibilities should they occur. "It can't happen to me" seems to be a common attitude. But accidents are far more likely to occur when they are unexpected than when anticipated. We should all receive training in how to deal with an emergency situation: first-aid lessons, self-defense, how to contact the proper authorities quickly, and so forth. Our failure to be prepared could literally mean the difference between life and death.
lurk...潜む、待ち伏せる
calamity...災難、不幸
first-aid...応急手当ての
1. How should we deal with possible bad situations?
2. What is the best way in dealing an emergency situation?
It is very important for us to move quickly but calmly
We should not be panic all the time
3. Are you willing and able to help people in an emergency?
4. If you saw someone being mugged, would you risk your life to help?
